Wampa Trap

About
this scene:

A number of Wampas
have now been captured and are now being kept in a confined
area. Threepio and Artoo-Detoo are discussing how the
creatures were captured by using electronic whistles like
Artoo's. This leads into another deleted scene, which comes
later.

Again, this is
part of the Wampa storyline that was deleted.

INT ICE CORRIDOR - REBEL BASE - HOTH

Artoo and
Threepio are moving by a steel door on which an X had
been painted. From behind it come intermittent THUMPS and
ROARS.

THREEPIO
... It seems the snow creatures are attracted to a
high-pitched whistle. That's how they're being drawn to
this trap.

Artoo WHISTLES
his understanding as he stands before the door.
Immediately the THUMPING on the door picks up. Artoo
beeps a question.

THREEPIO
See your whistles upset them. No, I told you they can't
get out! Now will you hurry up? I don't know why I bother
...

Threepio moves
around a corner. Artoo stares at the door another moment,
then proceeds to tell the Ice Monsters off in a burst of
beeps and whistles. The THUMPING picks up as Artoo moves
casually away.
